Natural Selection 3
His research was most popularly found in finches. He compared different types of finches while comparing their characteristics and eating habits and what types of environments they lived in. Eventually after compiling all his data, he learned that they were all the same bird but the difference in their surroundings caused them to lead different lives. It could be compared to melanin and different weather with humans. -
Natural Selection 4
For example, when a person lives in Florida, they might get accustomed to a tan, whereas someone living in New York might not have a tan like that, due to the difference in climates. He saw other species in the Galapagos Islands that could be compared to evolutionary progression just like the finches, such as the tortoises, rhea, and wrens. This caused a spark in evolutionary science and now people try and figure out where humans evolved from. -
Natural Selection 2
Charles Darwin was a man who was raised by his father, whom he first found an interest in science with. He attended Edinburgh University, but most of his knowledge came from experience with hands on learning. Eventually, he took a trip on a boat where he would travel for 18 months. When he was in South America, he came across fossils and such which caused him to find curiosity within evolution.
